Ten things to lift the mood in the virtual office

Posted

In these unprecedented times, where we are all trying to adjust to working from home, there are a few things we might miss.  Maybe not the coffee from the canteen; but having a chat, catching up with colleagues, talking about the weekend, or simply sharing a joke.  if you’re missing out on some of the fun stuff, we have put together a list of things you can do with your team virtually.  We’ve stopped at 10; the team had loads more!

  1. Fika – an afternoon natter with a hot drink and cake.
  2. Remote Friday Drinks – If you use Microsoft teams you can add the Snapchat camera for extra lol’s
  3. Lunchtime Yoga/Workout – help get some movement in your day
  4. Share a recipe – if you have foodies on the team
  5. Collaborative playlists – share your favourite toons (sic)
  6. Share an interesting fact – either about yourself or any topic
  7. Pub quiz – create a virtual quiz and have some prizes!
  8. Have a themed day – fancy dress Friday, anyone?
  9. Five-minute afternoon dance party – maybe to an 80s classic?
  10. Make ‘em laugh – share your best dad joke?

We have been sharing what the 106 team has been doing in our catch-ups on our social pages. We would love to hear about your experiences, let us know how you get on via our social pages.
